Performance Food Group Company

A food distributor that supplies restaurants, schools, hospitals, convenience stores, and theaters across North America, delivering everything from custom-cut meats to cigarettes and candy. Its roots reach back to 1885, when James Capers began peddling groceries in Richmond, Virginia—an operation that grew into Pocahontas Foods and was gathered under the Performance Food Group name in 1987. One fun twist: its convenience arm carries the Core-Mark brand, dating to 1888, when the Glaser brothers opened a small family store in San Francisco.
